  • Fenner's is the University of Cambridge's cricket ground. Fenner's has hosted first-class cricket since 1848, and many of the world's great players have graced the wicket. The ground was established on land leased for the purpose by Francis Fenner, after whom the ground is named. Playing for Cambridge University has launched many careers. Such names as Peter May, David Sheppard, Ted Dexter, and Mike Brearley to Jahangir Khan, Derek Pringle, John Crawley, Steve James and, most recently, former captain of the England team Mike Atherton. Fenner's is home to the recently-established ECB Cambridge University Centre of Cricketing Excellence, a partnership between the University of Cambridge, Anglia Ruskin University and the ECB. The curator pioneered the art of mowing grass in strips to create patterns, a technique now common in sports stadiums around the world. In Fenner's grounds there are also other sports facilities such as a gym open to members of the university and it also provides office space for the organisations The Humanitarian Centre and EWB-UK.
